Its not uncommon for people who have chronic bronchitis or acute upper respiratory tract infection to have metallic tasting cough with sputum production.
Its suggestive of viral urti which should subside with the cough.
Next Steps
You should seek medical attention if you've got other symptoms or if the cough is present with blood.
